Who is wise? He who learns from all people. As it is said, 'From all my teachers, I have gotten understanding.'(Avot 4:1) - Rabbi Ben Zoma

Beth El's education programs provide opportunities to study and learn at all times during one's life. Whether you seek to learn new skills, share your own experiences or build a new foundation upon which to grow and learn, you can find classes and activities here at Beth El. Come, learn with us!

Adult Education

All course offerings, Shabbat afternoon seminars and scholar-in-residence programs are open to members and non-members alike, including religious school students who have completed the B'nai Mitzvah program.

Beth El Preschool/JCCNV

The Jewish Community Center of Northern Virginia (JCCNV), in collaboration with Beth El Hebrew Congregation is pleased to offer a Jewish preschool program with extended childcare! We welcome children ages two through four years old. Our goal is to promote developmental growth through creative interaction between children and teachers within a warm, caring, Jewish environment. Visit the Preschool page or contact Dina Backer, Director, telephone 703 537 3084.

MAJYK 2017 is coming to Beth El?

The Mid-Atlantic Jr. Youth Kallah will be hosted by Beth El on December 15-17 to experience a taste of NFTY and learn about its traditions and lingo. In order to make this a success we need to find host families for 150-200 middle schoolers. Please contact our Youth Advisors, Nori and Marissa, to become a host family!

Beth El is raising funds for a new playground?

With seed money from Cantor Jason Kaufman's concert, the JCCNV was able to start a fund with all proceeds going towards a new playground for the preschool. If you would like to donate towards this very worthy project, simply send your donations to Beth El Hebrew Congregation and notate "Playground." If you donate on line, the playground fund is first on the list!
